"My most painful was probably David Loiseau's elbows... Felt like getting hit in the head with a bamboo pole....

"It was my dad in 8th grade...I wiped boogers(i know i was old but immature and still am)on a girl and teacher got pissed and told my dad. It was a private school so my dad was really embarrassed so he beat the shit out of me on the drive home in the car it felt like sledgehammers hittin' me at 20 punches per second! Either that or training at TUF2 with Keith Jardine he kicked me in the head and I was out for a few seconds...that sucked!.

---Seth "The Silverback" Petruzelli

In preparation for Forrest Griffin's fight with Rampage (Jackson) we were doing a lot of hard sparring at Extreme Couture. There was a particular day when Forrest hit me clean with a solid left hook to the liver followed by a left Thai kick straight to the liver as well. Needless to say either shot would have dropped me but both in succession of one another sort of felt like I was having my colon removed while I was awake. I still finished the round but it did almost kill me.

--Tim Credeur

"I would have to say taking a clean and clear right cross to the forehead just above my left eye. The guy who punched me was Falaniko Vitale. We were sparring last year around this time and we were coming to the end of the round. I felt pretty confident with my left hook so I was in the process of throwing one when "POW"!! I dropped to a knee and put my right fist on the ground, "3 points of contact" to try and get my bearings back:) It is still the hardest I have ever been hit. My head felt like it did when you were a kid and you would fall off your skate board and smack the back of your head on the concrete. A vibrating cold feeling and then you're snapped back to normal:)".

--"The SGT" Steve Byrnes

"Most painful hit I've ever been hit with was probably a liver shot from (Jens) Pulver. It happened more than once, and every time I wished I got KO'd cause it's hard to explain the amount of pain I was in..

"Well I don't need any more herpes rumors getting out... I would say most hits aren't painful, especially during the fight. You're either conscious or not. Probably the worst are body shots, a good hit in the liver is pretty debilitating. I've been dropped in practice a few times with those."

I got hit hard in training as well and i agree that the worst are liver shot. Once we were doing MMA sparring and my friend has me in a muay thai clinch, he gave me 2 knees right in the liver man that sucks lol good times

Not so much for pain, but for pure debilitating ability I would have to add a punch or kick straight to the solar plexus. It just knocks the wind straight out of you and leaves you with a helpless feeling.

I fight under an unusual ruleset, and the hardest I've been hit was a downward elbow to the spine. I was blind and couldn't move my legs for about ten seconds. hehehe
